U-485: USB to RS485 Serial Port Converter
The new U-485 is a USB-to RS485 converter that converts the PC's USB port directly to a two-wire RS485 interface. The converter is powered directly by the USB port and hence minimal wiring is required to connect your PC to any devices that has two-wire RS485 interface (e.g. All TRiLOGI brand of PLCs have at least 1 built-in RS485 port and on Nano-10 that's its only serial port).
Official MYLAPS Customer Service Site Includes product manuals, FAQs and phone numbers of our support teams. Support is an important part of our service. We offer 24/7 support to our customers in cases of emergency. You can also find manuals, FAQ's and more here. MYLAPS Connect is replacing the software FLEX MANAGER Software to activate your TRANX transponder (Kart, Car/Bike and MX) (Windows Only).
With U-485 you can use the i-TRiLOGI + TLServer software to program a network of M-series, F-series and/or Nano-10 PLCs from a single PC. U-485 is also a great tool for trouble-shooting RS485 communication issues between devices.

Notes:
1) For users whose PC already has a built-in RS232 port or USB-RS232 converter, another option is to use the Auto485 converter to convert the RS232 port into an RS485 port. However, since Auto485 is not port powered, it may be less convenient to use than the U-485 converter for programming purpose.
2) This converter is only used for converting a PC's USB port to RS485. It DOES NOT CONVERT a PLC's RS485 INTO a USB HOST port for connecting to say a mouse or a serial printer! USB to RS485 conversion is not a simple electrical interface changeover and therefore it is NOT possible for the PLC to interface to those standard USB peripherals such as a keyboard, a mouse or a USB Flash Drive.
New benefits to the world of racing
The X2 Timing & Data System and X2 Link provides new features to everyone who’s involved in racing. Race tracks, timekeepers and federations get a more stable system with detailed track information and racers get to access live race data, which can be published to racer’s own on-board displays.
Automatic upload to MYLAPS.com
The X2 system automatically uploads practice data to a personal MYLAPS account on mylaps.com.
Supports multi-loop setups
A multi-loop set-up makes sector timing at the track possible. Race data can be segmented for each sector, allowing racers to focus and improve on specific parts of the track.
One system for all sports
With the X2 system it is possible to time all motorized sports, like car, motorbike, kart and MX racing*. This makes it possible to expand timing services to other markets.
*One transponder type per session
2-way communication
Drivers Maps
X2 Link will bring 2-way communication to the race track: data is not only transmitted from the X2 Transponders to the System, but it will be possible to send vital race data back to the racer, which is displayed through their own on-board displays.
Track analysis & remote control
The system offers insight to system performance. Diagnostics can be accessed and controlled remotely when connected to the Internet. Timekeepers are able to set-up and monitor the system from everywhere: a perfect solution for checking in on free practice runs and race days.
Live timing
X2 enables live timing which makes it easier to broadcast real-time race data. Data can be published on displays on the track, on websites or via mobile apps and third party applications.
Develop custom apps
